July 10, 2008 - The following started as a private e-mail to someone on my list,
but I decided to post it to the list (with modifications).

Having spent a year in prison, where eighty-some percent of the
prisoners were black, and were there for victimless crimes (an
oxymoron), I marvel at how many obsessed about racism more than
they talked about what a huge scam the "war on drugs" is! A bunch
of politicians made up a "crime," created a huge, lucrative black
market around it, destroyed the free market and built a welfare
state, and then locked up a MILLION people (most of them black) for
supporting themselves with mutually voluntary trade. And the
victims of that are still more concerned about whether some white
folk might secretly not like them?! It's amazing, in a really sad
way.

Unfortunately, history shows that demographic groups who have been
subjected to huge injustices (like slavery) are very susceptible to
"justice via government" scams. It's just too tempting for people
to think that the world owes them something, and so much more
difficult to think, "Whether or not the world likes me, and whether
life is fair or not, I have to be the one to achieve what I want."
While inside I read the biography of Frederick Douglass. Now THAT
was a great black man. Sadly, one guy I met on the inside -- nice,
decent guy put in a cage for five years for selling some leaves --
went to a school named after Frederick Douglass, but had no idea
who the guy was. So I showed him this quote. (Imagine any "black
leader" today saying this):

"Everybody has asked the question: 'What shall we do with the
Negro?' I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing
with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with
us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree
of their own strength, if they are wormeaten at the core, if they
are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for
tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature's
plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the
Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask
is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!"

How many so-called "black leaders" today would have the spine to
state what Douglass, a former SLAVE, put so bluntly?: "your
interference is doing positive injury!" Reading his writings, I was
stunned that anyone with his upbringing, raised to be a SLAVE,
managed to free first his MIND, and then his body, from that
oppression. But he did, even while most of his fellow slaves
accepted their slavery as proper and natural, and saw as BAD any
slave who would try to escape. Douglass was even insightful enough
to recognize that what was essentially an "income tax" -- his master
eventually letting him keep a percentage of his efforts--was MORE
insulting than outright slavery, because it gave the false
appearance of some scrap of freedom, without diminishing the
reality of slavery at all. Yes, a former SLAVE was more offended at
an "income tax" than he was at being openly enslaved. How many
public school students in this country do you think have ever heard
about THAT?
